(Xinhua) -- The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Friday it had prepared for a pre-emptive attack, the official news agency KCNA reported.According to the report, a committee spokesman said South Korea had recently changed its military policy towards the DPRK from "defensive strategy" to preparation for a pre-emptive attack on the DPRK if it thought the north was about to launch missiles, nuclear weapons or war.
The official said South Korea's stance was a serious provocation to and an extremely dangerous war action against the DPRK.
He said the South Korean authorities had continued its confrontation policy by staging a string of military exercises despite domestic and foreign public opinion in favor of dialogue and detente.
This showed South Korea "is none other than warmongers focused on nothing but confrontation and war," he said.
"When looking back on history, aggressors launched wars through surprise attacks but they couldn't escape failing and a miserable end," he said, stressing that if South Korea dared to threaten a preemptive attack, "it will get nothing but miserable self-destruction."
